Obviously the iPhone camera doesn't come anywhere near that level of quality - you shouldn't need to read a review to figure that out. The lens is about the size of a large tick.
But you know what? It's "good enough" for almost everything I want to e-mail or post on a website. And the convenience factor makes up for the shortcomings. Since you don't see the value in having a smartphone 46er, I don't think you can fully appreciate this. Everyone should use whatever works best for them of course, and it's actually refreshing to see somebody who has resisted the trend to buy a smartphone. I can only think of one other person that I know who doesn't have one.
And here's something that may rub people the wrong way. I wonder if too many pictures being posted here? I understand the desire to capture memories and share experiences. But I sometimes wonder if anyone ever just goes out and
experiences the pines? I used to take tons of pictures myself (with my expensive cameras). Today.... not so much.
Maybe it's my own background in art? If I'm taking pictures I'm thinking like a photographer. That can be fun sometimes, but it just isn't the same thing as relaxing and enjoying the woods.
